GROUP MINISTRIES
DISCIPLE BIBLE STUDY
This program is designed to develop strong Christian leaders in local churches through the in-depth study of Scripture. Through DISCIPLE,

CARD CLUB
Card Club is a fellowship group that meets on the
3rd Friday of the month from September through May. We gather at 7:00 and draw for partners with two couples at each table.
After four hands the couple with the highest score goes to the next table. Partners are changed at each table so you are grouped with many different people throughout the evening. We play 500 and the evening is always finished by
10pm. Couples and individuals are equally welcome.

We know God is with you and his love shines through each of us, the Lord's Ladies.

This study/fellowship group meets on the first Thursday of the month from September through
May, 7-9 pm. All women are welcome, although most participants have children from junior high through college
